The ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/2405, “RFEUA”) establishes under Article 13 that EASA is required to annually prepare and publish a technical report, starting in 2025. The technical report shall contain various elements, including information on the prices of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and other RFEUA eligible aviation fuels in the European Union (EU).
The “2025 Aviation Fuels Reference Prices for ReFuelEU Aviation” briefing notepresents the 2025 reference prices for the aviation fuels subcategories eligible under RFEUA as well as conventional aviation fuels (CAF). This briefing note serves as a pre-publication of the RFEUA aviation fuels reference prices that will be included in the annual EASA technical report, which is due for publication in Q3 every year. Importantly, the reference prices included in this briefing note and in the technical report published later in the same year are identical.
The 2025 reference prices including in this briefing note are intended to serve as reference for EU Member States in their determination of penalties under RFEUA as well as for the support mechanism for the use of eligible aviation fuels under the EU ETS Directive (FEETS).
EASA also maintains a methodology document explaining in detail how the reference prices for RFEUA eligible aviation fuels are determined.
